My name is Wyatt Gardner, and Iāve got a problem that plagues nice guys all over the world. The more attractive a girl is, the more likely I am to clam up, lose all confidence, and generally make a fool out of myself. Despite this little handicap, Iāve never been too lonely or sexually frustrated since, as my grandmother says, there are many fish in the sea. Plus, personality means a lot more to me than looks.
Last year, though, I met Alison, the woman of my dreams ā funny, intelligent, a sparkling personality ā who just happens to be a colossal babe.
I met her in Spanish class at San Diego State during my sophomore year. I used to spend a good chunk of the class period staring at her. For some reason I was obsessed with her back (which was nearly always bare) and the way her hair, tightly woven into a thousand tiny braids, settled on it. I remember wondering what it would be like to stare down at that perfect back while I fucked her from behind. One day, a month or so into the semester, she approached me after class and asked, in her mild Georgia accent, if I wanted to join her study group for the midterm exam.
I was excited to see Alison outside of class, but when I showed up at her apartment, that familiar relapse into shyness took hold. When she greeted me at the door her smile hit me like a ton of bricks. She was dressed to kill, with a tight, white tank top and equally tight jeans showing off her perfect, heart-shaped ass. A cross hung low on her neck, nestled in her bustline. (Iāve always thought thereās something really sexy about mixing sex and religion.)
True to form, I didnāt say more than ten words to Alison that night until, on my way out the door, I noticed a tear forming in her eye. Soon after, I was in her room listening to her heart-wrenching tale of woe caused by an unfaithful boyfriend.
At the time, I was more than happy to be her shoulder to cry on. At the end of the night, I got a nice big hug for it, which meant a good five seconds of her breasts smashed snug against my chest. I left her apartment feeling high on the possibilities. Her boyfriend was obviously a jerk, so it seemed I had arrived on the scene at just the right moment. My shyness around beautiful women wasnāt even turning out to be a problem, since she was doing most of the talking and I was getting points for just listening.
As it turned out, though, Alison often needed consolation, and mine was her favorite shoulder to cry on. She grew dependent on my shoulder, at the expense of the rest of me: namely my cock, which ached for her every time I laid eyes on her tight and pleasing form.
Alison and I grew closer as the weeks and months passed, but I found myself firmly stuck in the ājust friendsā category, that black hole of male sexual frustration. I canāt count the number of times Iāve helped her through her various crises with asshole boyfriends. Sometimes the crisis would revolve around her sex life, and Iād have to listen while she gave me all the lurid details. Every time the word āpussyā floated out of her sexy mouth I nearly died in frustration. Sometimes I wished sheād just find a gay guy to confide in.
Occasionally, I thought I picked up on a little bit of sexual energy between us, but it could easily have been wishful thinking. I never could get up the courage to tell her how I felt, though sheād have to be pretty stupid not to have noticed the many times when my glance would linger on her breasts for just a second more than was appropriate.
The worst part of all this was knowing that I could have made her so much happier than those muscle-bound, brainless jocks she was screwing. Despite her awesome body, creamy brown skin, and devastating smile, she was very sensitive and insecure at heart. None of the guys she dated were smart enough to understand this, so theyād always say the wrong thing and then not even know why their fine piece of ass wouldnāt speak to them anymore.
But Alison stuck to her pattern, alternating between jocks and plain old frat boys, which is why I was surprised one Friday when she called to invite me to her sorority invitational for 10 oāclock that night. It didnāt really qualify as a date, because I knew the girls were allowed to invite three people each. Still, she had never included me in anything like this before.
There were lots of excellent reasons to decline the invitation. For one, Iād have to cancel a date with a girl whoād made it abundantly clear that Iād wake up the next morning a āluckyā man. For another thing, I hadnāt been to any Greek event since I dropped out of my pledge class freshman year (after refusing to perform unnatural acts on a hoofed farm animal). The last, and probably best reason for not going was that Iād likely get an up-close and personal look at the lusty beginnings of another of Alisonās tragically stupid love affairs. She was in-between assholes at the moment.
In the end, the promise of seeing Alison fully decked out in all of her sorority girl glory made all of those reasons irrelevant. Also, I told myself this would be the night that Iād tell her how I felt, for better or worse.
I walked over to the sorority house at 10, but the bus to the nightclub had apparently already left! From the outside, the house looked completely dark and empty. I walked up to the front door and knocked, not really expecting an answer.
A split second after my knock sounded, however, the door opened and Alison was there. Since I happened to be looking down at the moment, the first thing I noticed was that she had no shoes on, and her toes were painted a lovely shade of pink. When I lifted my eyes, I saw that she wore one of those sheer silk robes that stop around mid-thigh. She had all her make-up on and looked like she had just stepped out of a Victoriaās Secret catalogue. The moonlight basked her body in an ethereal glow that made her look almost too sexy to be true.
Seeing my shocked expression, she whisked me inside, smiling and saying, āI thought it would be more fun to stay in. I hope you donāt mind.ā There was a mischievous glint in her eye.
āUm, sure,ā I replied. I couldnāt hide my confusion and surprise. After all, Alison was the sororityās social president, and had spent weeks organizing the invitational. I couldnāt imagine what would make her want to stay at home.
āActually, Wyatt, the truth is that Iām having some serious guy problems and, um, I was hoping I could talk them out with you. Youāre always such a good listener.ā
Now things started to make a bit of sense. But there was still definitely something weird going on. Why the make-up and the sexy robe, for example? And why didnāt she seem visibly upset about her āseriousā guy problem? In any case, Iād find out in a minute. We settled onto the sofa in the common room and I waited for her latest sob story.
āSo thereās this guy,ā she began. āHeās so cute, and sweet, but heās also a friend. I donāt know if I should tell him how sexually attracted Iāve become to him recently.ā
As she talked she started to slowly move her hand over her leg, starting at her knee and moving steadily upward until it stopped just under her robe. She was curled up on her side with her legs tucked in close to her body. I was sitting on the same sofa but on the other end. Maybe six inches separated me from her nicely trimmed and painted toenails.
